BIRD SONG
Spotted on the neighbour’s fence as I returned from the Farmer’s Market, he waited till I went home for my camera, patient little fellow!
Waltz Wave was developed by Leo Waltz. It is a syllabic form with a title and 19 lines, pattern is: 1/2/1/2/3/2/1/2/3/4/3/2/1/2/3/2/1/2/1. Words may be split to fit the pattern. There is no rhyme and the subject should be calming.

How beautiful! Is that a wild bird, or a tame one that got loose?
